Fellowship of Christian Athletes
FCA is a weekly Bible study where we dive into the Word and discuss the different aspects, struggles, and successes of being a Christian athlete and student. As a group, we strive to grow in our faith, to do our best both on and off the field/court, to encourage one another, and to be God’s light to our teammates and friends. We also have fun activities like sport or movie nights and hang outs throughout the year to help us get to know one another and take a break from the stress of being a busy college student.
Whether you are a returning student or a first-year student, are on a sports team, play intramural or just like sports, if you know Jesus Christ, are seeking Him, or are just want to know more, I would encourage you to join us!
